Manhattan, at a glance
Start wide: this map plots every restaurant captured in Manhattan. Instead of reading rows in a table, you can see the city’s food footprint—dense corridors of dining, quieter pockets, and the way “going out to eat” clusters around certain streets. Hover over any point to pull the restaurant back into focus with its name and address.
Zoom in: what does East Village pricing feel like?
Now the story narrows to the East Village (ZIPs 10003 and 10009). The histogram shows where most menu prices live—your “everyday range”—and where the outliers begin. Next to it, cuisine medians reveal that price isn’t just about the neighborhood: different cuisines tend to sit at different baselines, even within the same few blocks.
Inside the menus: language, extremes, and signals
At the smallest scale, menus stop being just lists—they become signals. The flavour-word chart shows the vocabulary East Village restaurants lean on most. The expensive-restaurant view highlights where the upper ceiling really is (one restaurant’s “max” can dwarf another’s). And finally, the luxury-words chart asks a subtle question: when a menu uses words like “caviar” or “tasting,” does the price usually follow?
